The Henry G. Manne Program in Law & Economics Studies, a division of the Law & Economics Center (LEC) at George Mason University Antonin Scalia Law School held a Research Roundtable on “Industry Self-Regulation” at Scalia Law School on Sunday, June 5 – Tuesday, June 7, 2022.

The Roundtable was designed to encourage the development of new academic research that will form the foundation for enhanced analysis of the legal and economic issues involved in assessing self-regulation today, including models for self-regulation and empirical and other rigorous analysis of their effectiveness at achieving the ends of beneficially guiding and monitoring conduct and at harnessing the power of self-regulation to promote business accountability.

The Research Roundtable had 5-7 authors. All authors participated in the vetting of other papers. An additional 5-7 scholars participated as commentators. The Research Roundtable was spread over 2 days to allow for informal interaction outside of sessions.

Authors revised their papers based on feedback from the Research Roundtable and sought publication in suitable academic journals. The LEC also hosted these drafts as part of the Law & Economics Center at George Mason University Scalia Law School Research Papers Series.
